Re: PCI Interrupt

[Duncan . Perrett]

Sorted.

A setting in the BIOS meant it was storing old configuration data.
After disabling this option, it became a level triggered interrupt and
everything now works!

Thanks.

Okay, then in the BIOS, make sure that IRQ12 is not assigned to
a specific device. In other words, set it to PnP (if available).
As you well know, PCI requires sharable interrupts and edges
are not sharable so something is broken. As a last resort,
move your PCI board to abother slot which should pick up another
interrupt, which may not be broken. If that doesn't work, see
if a new BIOS is available for download.
